I’m not sure I understand what you’re referring to here, but I suspect that you may be confused about which port numbers are used where. The proxy server’s port number is the port number that 'front-end clients use when communicating with the proxy server. However, the port number that’s used by the ‘back-end’ stream is the one that’s mentioned (either implicitly or explicitly) in the “rtsp://“ <rtsp://%93> URL that you register with the proxy server. (By default, this port number - if it’s not included explicitly in the “rtsp://“ <rtsp://%93> URL - is 554, but if can be any other port number.) Or alternatively, if you use the ‘REGISTER’ mechanism asking to reuse the TCP connection, then the ‘back-end’ stream’s port number will be whatever ephemeral port number was used to receive the ‘REGISTER’ command . In either case, this port number (which can be different for different ‘back-end’ streams) is completely independent of whatever port number is used by the proxy server.

Hi Ross,

Thank you for your answer. Maybe I can explain it a bit more with an example.

Old situation: Clients directly connect to different back-end streams (i.e. cameras). Suppose we have two cameras with the following url:
Camera 1: rtsp://192.168.1.1:1234/camera_stream_1
Camera 2: rtsp://192.168.1.2:4567/camera_stream_2

New situation: Clients connect through a proxy server with the back-end streams. Suppose the proxy server is started and both urls are registered. When instantiating the proxy server the proxy port is specified at 7621: RTSPServerWithREGISTERProxying::createNew(*env, 7621, NULL, NULL, 65, False, verbosityLevel)

For the back-end streams the clients have to play either the url rtsp://172.16.1.1:7621/camera_stream_1 or rtsp://172.16.1.1:7621/camera_stream_2. There is only a difference in the url suffix, not in the used port (both are 7621).

The problem is, I have cameras in my network which have the same url suffix (camera_stream_equal). How can I distinguish (from a clients point of view) between these cameras? I guess the only way to make a difference is to give both cameras a unique url suffix when registering?
